Significance Humans have a remarkable ability to remember images they have seen, even after seeing thousands, each only once and for a few seconds. One important step toward understanding how the primate brain supports this remarkable form of memory involves pinpointing the neural activity patterns that enable image memory behavior. This paper presents evidence this neural activity pattern is sensory referenced suppression: reductions in population response magnitude, corrected for sensory modulation.
